If you read this description of what Saul Alinsky was trying to do and then compare it with Barack Obama´s past and current agenda, they frighteningly seem to be one in the same. Compounding the problem is having a President who is dealing with a complicit media and a largely ignorant or blind populace that simply buys anything he is selling!

A friend of mine has a family member who has been called up for duty in Israel. I know that, all over Israel, young men and young women are being mobilized. Some sadly, may not come home, although I wish all of them would, just as I wish every one of our troops in Afghanistan could return home. As always when I think about war, I think, not about those who die, but about the many who live. My expectation that people will return home is shaped by my parents’ experiences.

Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich the head of the foreign press branch of the IDF held a phone call briefing for bloggers today at approximately 3PM EST. The below is a transcript of the call (as best as possible):

We work hard, or we strive to find work while counted amongst 86 million “invisible” unemployed, or we stress as one of the Bureau of Labor Statistics 14.6% unemployed, and when rare tranches of time allow, during our otherwise consumed days, we sporadically tune into the mainstream media. The Gallup organization recently informed us that 60% of us do not trust the news media. And yet, . . . it still influences our determinations as it wishes.

My line on secession is the same as it always has been, which is that the question of whether states have a right to secede was decided during the Civil War and the answer was “No.” That being said, secession petitions have become all the rage since the election.

At today´s press conference Barack Obama not only seemed to be ducking and dodging questions but he demeaned the position of Susan Rice by making it sound like a big brother protecting his little sister.

While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton boozes it up in Australia and the Pentagon grapples with more floozy eruptions, outraged military families are still waiting for answers about the forgotten 9/14 attack on Camp Bastion.

We, the people of the US, are heading for a disaster of epic proportions. And when it hits, due to the US influence abroad, the world will feel the hurt at the same magnitude. Why? Fiat currency, that’s why. Combined with rapidly increasing national debt, and interest rates kept artificially low, with massive infusions of “cash” into the market place, the foundation holding up the confidence in the US dollar is starting to crumble.

"Ups and Downs of Campaign Obscure What Matters" is the title Dave Helling at the KC Star put to his latest Op/Ed, published today.

Mr. Helling´s ´pithy analysis´ is an odd mix of self-congratulation for his correct prediction about the national election, and a lament about our national polarized politics that have become, well, nationalized; the result of which sucks the air out of the room for local down-ballot issues and candidates. The ´what matters´ in his title, I think.

I believe Mr. Helling misses the larger picture about ´what matters´ in the suffocating environs

Here is a heartwarming tale of your education tax dollars at work. At a recent school event at a New Jersey public university, a tax paid professor said that Joseph Stalin, the murderous head of the Soviet Union during the WWII era, never committed any crimes against humanity. "I have yet to find one crime that Stalin committed," the professor yelled at students.

In response to revelations of the extramarital affair that now former CIA Chief David Petraeus admitted to over the weekend, liberal historian Doris Kearns-Goodwin scoffed at the idea of holding highly placed public figures to account for their personal behavior.

Today at 1:30 PM, President Obama has deigned to hold an honest-to-goodness, question-taking press conference. I guess the President took to heart the plaintive plea of ABC´s Jake Tapper who asked Obama not to be a stranger as the Prez exited his last presser on August 20.

That quote from The Anchoress as she looks deeper into the scandal of the day:
Two months past the attack on Benghazi, which resulted in the death of an American Ambassador and three others — an attack we are told the White House watched while ordering no response; an attack the mainstream media helpfully blacked-out, at first, then allowed to be spun — we are now being served The Prestige, where all of reality is being turned on its head, and the audience isn’t even sure what it’s seeing, so it simply becomes giddy, and content to be led...

I ran across a disturbing post at the ´Uncommon Courage´ blog entitled ´The Disenfranchised Voters in Grandview (Missouri).´

What I found disturbing was the blog owner states she´s an attorney, yet the sophomoric level of ´awareness´ concerning our local election laws, ballots, and the boards which administer them didn´t strike me as observations from a post-graduate, let alone someone who passed the Missouri Bar.

But most troubling was her inflammatory ignorance about the word disenfranchised.

The plot thickens according to Paula Broadwell´s father:
Broadwell’s father said Sunday his daughter is the victim of character assassination and implied the bombshell story is just a smoke screen for something bigger...

We keep being told that Obama, who is the military Commander in Chief and the nation’s chief executive, had no knowledge of the various scandals plaguing his administration. These range from Fast and Furious to events in Benghazi. Obama’s latest area of ignorance is the sexual soap opera playing out over at the CIA and FBI, which Obama allegedly (and conveniently) didn’t learn about until after the election:

On the heels of a pivotal national election, I’d like to remind Americans that it is our troops’ service and sacrifice that safeguards our precious right to cast those ballots and savor the freedoms that we hold dear. They represent the best of America.

Mitt Romney now joins the long list of the kinds of presidential candidates favored by the Republican establishment– nice, moderate losers, people with no coherently articulated vision, despite how many ad hoc talking points they may have.
